Well... I can't really comment on the shading since the image is so messed up. I'm guessing you saved it as a .GIF directly in MS Paint? That can have some bad results. Save as .PNG if you're using Paint; it will work just as well. You can convert to .GIF later with some other program if you wish.

Ok I haven't updated this thread for a while. No one seems to be replying but there's no harm in updating it in case someone does post.

Ok this one THANK YOU SO MUCH HAYLEY! I used your hair tut and my hair came out GREAT! Ok I think this doll is cute because she has one stocking on and one sock and she looks like she couldn't care less. XD

I just randomly did this one when I was bored and I don't really have anything else to say.

Ok this one is the one that I entered into Aarons number contest. I dolled the number 13 so I did a ladder; a broken mirror and a calendar with the date friday the 13th of February on it. Also if you zoom in really close you will see that she is wearing a choker with 13 diamonds on it.
